This week should see some comments to this post from the 2011 Leadership Academy class of Huntington County.  In our last session

• we went over the Unwritten Laws of Business, a short book which touches on the kind of things a mentor would have shared; the kind of things anyone in business needs to know, but probably doesn't.  
• We discussed the principles of life (touched on in earlier posts) and brainstormed some additional principles.  The importance of formulating your own personal set of core values is one of the most ignored pieces in becoming a true leader.  Too often we "do it all in our head," and in reality never hone these values to the place where they make a difference.  Taking the time to write them down, talk about them and refine them can unleash tremendous energy in an individual's career and personal life.  
• I asked the class to do a time study of their life for a week to understand where they are focusing the majority of their time and connect that to GMP (also discussed in an earlier post).  I'm looking forward to seeing what is being done AND what is the considered reward for that behavior.  Possibly some will be brave enough to discuss changes and rewards which will motivate that behavior.
